When will the new UKIP website appear?

Apparently UKIP is building a new website that was due to be launched in March. Four months on and it still isn't here.

Either just in time for the conference, or never.

Never in my book.

I do note, that the Taxpayers' Alliance successfully launched their new website today.

For the length of time it's taking I trust we're not paying by the hour

It is a bloody joke. for several reasons,

Manic Monday taking so long to produce a basic template

UKIP for not choosing another company

Manic Monday can only create basic templates, we need more than a website. We need the best website of all parties, with community driven content, questions from members, questions from curious visitors considering joining, secure access to personal account information, automated joining (Not, the office gets an e-mail and does it manually anyway), membership figures, downloadable leaflets, regular comments on current events (at least two or three articles per day), the option to receive Independence magazine electronically to save funds. I could go on.

I doesn't just need the site, but someone able to feed it everyday to keep it topical.

Are you sure that Manic Monday have been chosen to do it again? Are you sure that work has even started on a new website?

Well, they said they had in March. As for whether it is Manic Monday again, I don't know but I think it is.

Tito, agreed on all counts.

UKIP obviously still deal with Manic Monday as Jeffrey Titford's website was designed by them long after the expected date of the UKIP website. I also assume Jeffrey Titford's website is the new template, would manic monday really take on two tasks at once?

I take on multiple projects at once, especially UKIP ones. I just upgraded all of the UKIP branch sites except one, which I am doing this afternoon.
